[c-nsp] Learning QoS

[Sami Joseph]

Hello,

I have hands-on experience with OSPF, BGP and MPLS, but almost no QoS
knowledge, i am in a SP, there's always a QoS chapter in every book i read,
IPv6, MPLS,... but that i always skip.

Our network is Cell based MPLS over ATM, and we have a separate frame-based
MPLS network, they'll all merge to Frame-based of course.
We dont have a QoS model configured and i am assigned to make that study for
the new network,

I'm also preparing for CCIE SP lab exam, so i also need to get down with
QoS, but my priority is learning it for my daily work and then put that
learning to the CCIE lab.

I am confused with where to start, but i know that QoS is something that has
alot of theory that should be partially covered first, dont want to go
deeper than required, at the same time, i have no Configuration experience,
so i'd like to start with a humble lab at hand(7200, 2500s, 2600)

I have three options to start with

1) Just cisco.com
2) The CCIP QoS course (
http://tools.cisco.com/E-Learning-IT/LPCM/LpcmLLController?action=CourseDesc&COURSE_ID=4295
)
3) Ciscopress : *End-to-End QoS Network Design (
http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587051761&rl=1)
*4) Or what ever you guys suggest

Please advice me knowing i already have experience but not QoS one.

***Thanks
